Camels vary greatly in size, also in colour, some almost being black. Ditto donkeys, which range from reddish fawn to almost black, the latter the commonest colour. Saw yesterday a donkey, evidently full grown, less than 3’ high. The man riding it had one foot on the ground.

The Atlas said to go up to 3200 metres (about 10, 000 feet.) (Actually about 13, 500.)¹

Beautiful and genuine image… I loved the contrast between the white peaks of the Atlas Mountains and the citrus orchards at their feet… The Atlas are quite similar to our Pyrénées, on the French-Spanish border, a bit higher, though…

Hi guys! In French, we say “L’Atlas marocain”, you may know its Greek origin: Atlas was the giant supposed to carry the sky on his shoulders…”Atlases” sounds bizarre, right?!… Good night in North America and have a great Thursday!
